| Sturm und Drang. Cool word choice by Rob, IMHO. You don't need a German dictionary, it's in English dictionaries, synonymous with turmoil. It is literally translated as "Storm and Stress" and it comes from a "German literary movement, characterized (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.admin.general)
